Summer is approaching and the college entrance examination is just around the corner. The watershed of life is once again a time of hard choices: "Go left, go right." Different from previous years, this year's gaokao has a distinct orientation -- technical and academic -- as the Ministry of Education has discussed the transformation of more than 600 colleges and universities.

Recently, Lu Xin, Vice Minister of Education, said in a speech at the China Development Forum that "more than 600 local undergraduate universities will turn to applied technology and vocational education." Along with the transition of colleges and universities, the whole society once again issued to our social employment embarrassing situation of thinking -- this year's graduates distress helpless, no job and social enterprise employment shortage, talent is hard to find, between the two respective complaints, the problem in the end where?

In 1977, the national college entrance examination was resumed, and the whole society was in ruins. Educated young people from rural areas returned to the city one after another, either to take the college entrance examination and become academic talents, or to enter workshops and factories to become workers, which is the academic and technical type mentioned in the transformation of colleges and universities. However, after more than 30 years of deepening and development, there is an ambiguous gray area between academic and technical type, which is mainly academic ability but no academic attainments, and commitment to the technical field is neither technical ability nor reputation. In the individual career planning, quite a lot of complaints, in the enterprise personnel department, is also distressed.

What is the cause of this social situation?

Take a look at how developed countries deal with talent diversion and social career planning?

What changes will the transformation of colleges and universities bring to the field of machinery industry?

Where is the outlet for skilled and technical talents?

The 10th China (Tianjin) International Metal Processing Technology and Equipment Exhibition will be held in Tianjin Binhai International Convention and Exhibition Center from August 21 to 24, 2014. As the most important and representative industrial exhibition in northern China, the exhibition will be explained here the development trend of equipment manufacturing industry, the trend and demand direction of industrial skills and technical talents. Human resource executives in the field of machinery manufacturing will interpret the outlet of technical talents after the transformation of colleges and universities and the force brought by the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing. 022-66224066

China Manufacturing Expo: The situation of technical talents in China

Ivory tower has always been the breeding place of dreams, here can be unrestrained, can be reckless, can turn all impossible into possible, at the same time, also secretly bear a possibility, that is graduation is unemployment.

High or low has become the true portrayal of a large number of college graduates. There have also been several versions of jokes circulating in the society to satirize the true portrayal of college graduates working for bosses with secondary school degrees. In people's traditional concept, more or less despise the low social status of professional technical personnel, it is this concept leads to people are not willing to engage in more reluctant to take root in the field of technology from the starting point of life. However, with the needs of social development, some enterprises offer high salary olive branch to find high-quality professional and technical personnel, but it is still difficult to find talents.

At the same time, part of the society, for some reason did not receive higher education, in the course of the society become ordinary technicians. In this group, a small number of people in the long-term basic work to develop strong technical skills, become highly skilled talents, while the majority of people are paid a meager salary, in the work of mediocre, hard life. Ask the society, has this huge group to provide a learning and security platform, so that they have more opportunities to get further study in the field of professional technology? The answer is "yes", but this platform on the whole society but, but extremely imperfect, platform biased, lack of resources, attention degree more nobody, become a Chinese educational mechanism in a chronic disease, ulcerative sores, not only can not output a large number of excellent professional and technical personnel for the society, but because of the incomplete management, and let the whole society produce a lot of doubts about it, So much so that people shy away from entering vocational and technical colleges for further study.

Feng Lijuan, chief human resources expert of 51job.com, said that in recent years, more than 6 million college students graduate every year, but the real shortage is the front-line manual and blue-collar workers, college graduates want to become white-collar workers, want to enter the government, public institutions, in fact, the main body of employment is still in enterprises, so we must adjust the enrollment structure, education structure, Increase the supply of blue-collar and skilled workers to solve the labor shortage. 'In fact, education is preparation for employment,' Ms. Feng said. On the road from campus to the workplace, enrollment, skills, work and other links should be organically linked. In addition, from the perspective of college students themselves, it is also important to change the concept of choosing a career.

Germany: Not civil servants as workers

My German friend Paul is a veteran educator. He showed me around the University of Bonn, Humboldt University, Freie Universitat Berlin and other schools. Amazingly, no matter what the university, no matter what the time of day, these places always feel deserted, few people to see. I couldn't help asking, "Why is your university so unpopular? Don't you German youth want to go to university?"

Paul smiled: "No, the reason why Germany can export so many quality products to the world is because Germany has a large number of excellent technical personnel. And these high quality vocational and technical personnel can be attributed to Germany's extensive vocational education."

Paul continued: "In Germany, where education is developed, only 25% of junior high school graduates go to university after graduating from junior high school, while as many as 65% of junior high school graduates enter vocational education and become all kinds of specialized talents needed by society. However, they do not feel ashamed to work as factory workers. On the contrary, they still get high wages (among the highest in the world). He is valued and respected by people, and his treatment and social status are very high."

Paul's words got me thinking: Go to vocational education instead of college? Would you rather be a worker than a civil servant?

However, in Germany, due to the emphasis on the development of vocational education and training of technical talents, the country has completed the economic revitalization in just 30 years, from a defeated country in ruins to a world economic power. How many German young people voluntarily devote themselves to the industry of "workers", so that "German quality" has become the benchmark of the world's manufacturing industry.

That day, I finally realized that if a country wants to be civilized and developed, it cannot rely only on a small number of elite or advanced talents. What it needs more is to train tens of thousands of high-quality workers. For a country to prosper and stand in the community of nations, a growing number of ordinary workers can enjoy broad respect and a decent life.

Colleges and universities transform saving machinery short board

Industrial upgrading is in urgent need of technical talents

Lu Xin, vice-minister of Education, said at the China Development Forum that "more than 600 local universities will turn to applied technology and vocational education." This indicates that nearly half of our common colleges and universities will turn from the common colleges with multiple vocational aspects into professional skills colleges with a clear career plan and an unlimited future. Four years later, a group of highly educated professional and technical personnel with professional skills and solid professional foundation will emerge in all fields of social production, replace or influence and improve the unskilled and zero-basis social production services prevalent in the society, upgrade the extensive social production services to a dedicated, professional and specialized level, and improve the technical shortcomings. Comprehensively improve the level of social skills.

In terms of equipment manufacturing industry, high-level professional skills and technical personnel are absolutely necessary for the overall level of the industry to improve. Only by improving technology can the comprehensive competitiveness of equipment and products be improved. Excellent product performance is the fundamental guarantee of market share and brand reputation. Internationally, although our country has always been a large equipment manufacturing industry, and also a large use of mechanical equipment equipment. Then in the supply of equipment, the high-end equipment depends on imports all the time. Foreign high-end production equipment and core technology always occupy the majority market in our country's equipment manufacturing production equipment. This situation is directly related to the low level of domestic industrial technology and the lack of breakthrough in core technology.

The 10th China (Tianjin) International Metal Processing Technology and Equipment Exhibition (hereinafter referred to as "Tianjin Metal Processing Exhibition") Director Mr. Deng Xiaohui introduced: Tianjin Metal Processing Exhibition is the most representative equipment manufacturing exhibition in northern China. After ten years of transformation, it has grown into an international professional exhibition with an exhibition area of nearly 60,000 square meters and more than 1200 well-known exhibitors. The on-site international exhibitors account for 18%, while the on-site international exhibits turnover accounts for 45% of the entire exhibition turnover. This site shows that the international high-end production equipment with core competitiveness has always been sought after by the domestic market, and the domestic low-end mechanical products, although the price is low, but because of some technical bottlenecks, always can not open the door of the international market. Shandong Tengzhou, as the "capital of small and medium-sized machine tools in China", its machine tool manufacturing output is renowned at home and abroad, and then Tengzhou is difficult to say is a Taizhou independent research and development of the production of machine tools in the domestic price of about 200,000 to 300,000, its export to Europe and America, after secondary processing in foreign countries, add a core technical system and then return to China, its value can be increased nearly ten times. All these show the absence and lack of core technical and professional skills talents.

The competitiveness of a country comes from the competitiveness of talents. This spring, the Ministry of Education announced the transformation of 600 colleges and universities, giving the country's equipment manufacturing industry hope that state-owned equipment manufacturing can take off. Under the situation of the low professional and technical level of each industry, it is a primary driving force to promote our industrial transformation and industrial upgrading to train a large number of high-quality excellent professional and technical personnel through the strength of the state, and save the technical weakness in the field of machinery and equipment production.

China Manufacturing Expo: skilled talents usher in professional golden top

The announcement by the Ministry of Education about the transformation of 600 universities has undoubtedly dropped an atomic bomb in the hearts of 7 million students and tens of millions of parents. To promote the transformation of colleges and universities and turn ordinary colleges and universities into professional skills colleges and universities, whether it is the devaluation of academic qualifications or the optimization of talents, has made the whole society discuss. Four years later, what kind of employment platform can Chinese society provide for these college graduates after the transformation, arouses multiple thoughts of society and experts.

According to a McKinsey report, by 2020, Chinese employers will need 142 million highly skilled people with higher education, and if the skills of workers are not further upgraded, China will face a talent shortage of 24 million. Under the pressure, college graduates blue collar is accelerating. The mismatch between higher education and market demand is also an important reason for the employment difficulties of fresh graduates.

China's labor market has not fully adapted to the rapid growth of the Chinese economy. One manifestation is the mismatch between future knowledge demand and workforce structure. China currently produces more college graduates each year than any sector of the economy needs. In the future, as China's economy grows, the number of jobs in services and knowledge-intensive manufacturing will increase, driving up demand for highly skilled workers.
